On the WRs, we could see a little more 5 wide. We did this with McElwain some, and we have a ton of depth to keep defenses honest. I was going to say, how can you guys forget about Christ Black? He was rumored to be better than Cooper in the practices leading up to the season, he may see more action than most.

As for the OL, I'm a little worried about our pass blocking ability. We may not have time for some deep balls this season, which will limit us stretching the field. But this coaching staff will know our limitations, extra tight end sets with some play-action will solve the deep routes. Especially with these WRs who can get separation. We have great depth, it's just not experienced. There were a lot of guys who got real game times snaps last season with our many mop up endings to games however. I really wish we had a 2nd game before the A&M one, to let these guys gel if anything else.

Our secondary will be interesting to follow. It could end up being a question mark if we have any injuries, but there is an insane amount of talent back there.

I think Chris Black was going to be the starter before he was injured. Did we ever get lucky when Amari stepped in and really took charge! I would love to see both of them burning up the field.

Black was the starter before he went down against Tennessee, Cooper played in the opener and was on the rotation - he got the chance to really shine by being our best deep threat.

I think you mean DeAndrew White and Ole Miss haha. Black was redshirted last year because he hurt his shoulder at fall camp. And yes, I forgot about him, my bad. And I'm not sure if Black was actually ahead of Cooper, I don't remember if Black came in the spring like Cooper did. That's one of the reasons people are so high on Falkins this year.

Yea I'm mixing up my colors again. Black was injured early on and we thought that we had good depth there so he took a RS. He was doing well last fall.

It wasn't that long ago that Alabama football has become irrelevant. And now today, we have a fresh perspective in Tuscaloosa. Folks are actually in panic mode because there's a sign.... a possibility that Alabama may not have a championship caliber team.

Barrett Jones: "I have two take aways. First of all, we obviously have a lot of work to do. That's no secret. I'm sure they're talking about it in the building. But I think the second take away is we have the players to get there. It's definitely way too early to panic. I feel like everyone is panicking saying 'we're in trouble, there's no chance they can win the national championship.'
